Great antioxidant, free radical scavenger and hepatoprotective. I've been taking a medication with potentially nasty side effects on the liver for a year. All liver function tests have been normal. Great price for a quality product. Wouldn't do without it.

My vet prescribed milk thistle for my dog's liver ailments - 1/2 capsule twice daily to 1 capsule twice daily. Not only have his liver values improved greatly, but my being able to empty the milk thistle from the capsules without ruining the taste of his food makes both our lives so much easier. Silymarin -an ingredient in milk thistle, on the other hand, is very bitter and intolerable if the capsules are broken and its contents mixed in with his food. He's a small dog and cannot swallow the larger-sized capsule.
